{"id":3634,"count":81,"description":"<strong>Cam locks<\/strong>, also known as <strong>cam<\/strong> <strong>locks<\/strong>, are among the most popular locking systems for technical furniture, cabinets, metal cabinets, and drawers. Thanks to their compact design and simple operation, these locks are a reliable and economical solution for locking doors, panels and technical compartments in many professional settings. \n\nA <strong>rotary cam lock<\/strong> consists of a cylindrical body that passes through the panel and a rear metal cam that rotates to lock or release the door. For this reason, these solutions are also often identified as <strong>cylindrical cam locks, cylindrical cam locks<\/strong>, or <strong>rotary cam locks<\/strong>. The principle of operation is simple but extremely effective: by turning the key, the rear cam moves and allows the cabinet to be opened or closed.  \nWhat is a Cam Lock?\n<strong>Cylindrical furniture locks<\/strong> find application in many areas of technical and industrial furniture. They are used as <strong>locks<\/strong> for <strong>cabinets, locks for metal cabinets<\/strong>, and <strong>locks for drawers<\/strong>, as well as for mailboxes, machine panels, electrical panels, and technical equipment. In many catalogs the lock body is also referred to as a <strong>furniture cylinder<\/strong>, a term that identifies the cylindrical part installed in the panel.  \n\nWithin the category are numerous variations of <strong>furniture cam locks<\/strong>, designed to suit different installation and security needs. The most common are <strong>keyed cam locks<\/strong>, used when access to compartments must be controlled. Alongside these are <strong>tubular cam locks<\/strong>, often used in vending machines and technical equipment, and <strong>keyless cam locks<\/strong>, used when locking must be quick and convenient.  \n\nAnother difference is the angle of rotation of the lock. Depending on the model and cam configuration, you can choose <strong>quarter-turn (90\u00b0)<\/strong> or <strong>half-turn (180\u00b0) locks.<\/strong> This feature allows locking to be adapted to the geometry of the cabinet and the type of door or drawer rebate.  \nAdvantages and Main Features\n<strong>Cam locks<\/strong> are distinguished by several features that make them the standard choice in the industry: \n\n<strong>Mechanical simplicity and reliability<\/strong>\nFew moving parts means minimal maintenance and low risk of jamming. Ideal for high-frequency use environments such as locker rooms and offices. \n\n<strong>Compactness and small footprint<\/strong>\nPerfect for limited space and thin panels, without compromising aesthetics or functionality.\n\n<strong>Quick installation<\/strong>\nMounting on standard round hole without special tools. Replacement in minutes. \n\n<strong>Versatility of accessories<\/strong>\nThanks to their mechanical simplicity and the wide variety of accessories available, <strong>furniture cam locks<\/strong> are an extremely versatile solution. By changing the back cam or actuator, the same cylinder can be used to lock metal cabinets, tool boxes, technical cabinets or centrally locking drawer cabinets. In addition, it is possible to add handles, dust cover flaps, stainless covers, etc.  \n\n<strong>Low Cost and Low Maintenance<\/strong>\nExcellent relationship between price, reliability and durability.\n\n<strong>Adaptability to Materials<\/strong>\nThey work on metal, wood, and plastic without the need for structural modifications.\nAvailable variants\n<strong>By type of mechanism<\/strong>\n\n \t<strong>Plate-cylinder<\/strong>: standard, economical applications\n \t<strong>Pin tumblers<\/strong>: greater strength, professional environment\n\n<strong>For Angle of Rotation<\/strong>\n\n \t<strong>Quarter turn (90\u00b0)<\/strong>: limited space, standard drawers\n \t<strong>Half-turn (180\u00b0)<\/strong>: compartments with greater thicknesses, robust blocking\n\n<strong>By key type<\/strong>\n\n \tStandard wrench\n \tTriangular, square, hexagonal, winged, fiat shape, screwdriver, etc.\n \tKeyless (quick push open)\n\n<strong>By Type of Fixing<\/strong>\n\n \tStandard nut (fine adjustment)\n \tSnap springs (quick installation)\n \tHorseshoe clip (quick and strong anchorage)\n \tScrews or rivets.\n\n<strong>By Material<\/strong>\n\n \tNickel plated (standard, indoor environments)\n \tINOX 304 (aggressive environments, outdoors, saltiness)\n\nThe terminal to which the cam (or cam) anchors is standard\nMany locks use a <strong>standard end cap (often 8 mm square)<\/strong> that allows different types of cams or actuators to be mounted. You can then choose from straight, cranked, hooked cams, or centrally locking drawer actuators. This modularity allows the same <strong>cam lock<\/strong> to be adapted to many configurations of furniture or technical cabinets.  \nMain Applications\n<strong>Cam locks<\/strong> are used in so many areas because of their simplicity and compactness: \n\n \tTechnical furniture and professional furnishings\n \t<strong>Lockers for lockers<\/strong> in locker rooms, schools, gyms\n \tCondominium mailboxes\n \tElectrical panels and machine panels\n \tVending machines\n \tDisplay cases\n \tRV lockers and toolboxes\n \t<strong>Metal cabinets<\/strong> and technical cabinets\n \tIndustrial carts and containers\n \tTechnical equipment and control panels\n\nThese locks are chosen when a compact, inexpensive, and easy-to-install locking system is needed.\nWhy choose a cam lock?\n<strong>Cam locks<\/strong> represent a standard in technical and industrial furniture: they are easy to install, require little maintenance, and offer excellent value for money, reliability, and durability.\n\nWhether you are looking for a solution for a household drawer box, <strong>locks<\/strong> for communal <strong>cabinets, locks for<\/strong> sturdy <strong>metal cabinets<\/strong>, or <strong>cam locks<\/strong> for special applications, you will always find the right configuration for your needs.","link":"https:\/\/www.omrserrature.it\/en\/catalog\/products\/locking-systems\/cam-locks\/","name":"Cam locks","slug":"cam-locks","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":862,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cam locks - OMR Serrature<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cam locks for furniture, cabinets and technical cabinets.
